Hi Samantha,
Firstly, you need to switch from XF86_SVGA to the 4.1.0 server, as per
Lionel's reply.
After that, there is a newer driver for the SiS chips available. Thomas is
actively working on it, so you should be able to get your problems sorted
out. You can get the newer driver from:

hiya all,
Desperately need help, I'm new to this and I'm having trouble installing
XFree86 ; - I've got a VM8000 seris Samsung notebook, SiS 630 chipset,
14.1" TFT XGA 1024x768/32 integrated display.
I'm trying to install XFree86 4.1.0 using Redhat 7.2 and when I use
Xconfigurator, the PCI probe finds these settings:- SiS 630
chipset
X server: XF86_SVGA
default xfree4 driver
For the monitor setup (I have tried almost all the combinations but
this one seems the most logical) I use generic laptop display panel
1024x768.
Video mem: 16mb
no clock settings
video modes: 24bit 1024x768
I have tried almost every possible configuration option, I always get about
3/4 of the screen displayed and flickering with bad resolution. Any
suggestions??
Does the XFree4.1.0 support the SiS 630 chipset??
Also I have searched high and low for the horiz sync frequency and vertical
refresh rate, and would love any feedback....
cheers
Sam
